Updated June 2026 with current pricing.
If you are dealing with a door that is failing, outdated, or simply past its useful life, replacing it is often the most practical decision. Knowing what the full project costs before you call a company is the best way to go into it with realistic expectations. At Triple B Garage Doors and Gates, all pricing includes installation and tax, so the number you see is the number you pay.
This guide covers what garage door replacement costs in The Phoenix Metro area, what goes into the total, and what to look for when making the decision.
Key Takeaways
- A standard 16×7 double-car steel door replacement starts at $1,590 installed. High-end steelback insulated with an 18 R-value is $3,260.
- A standard 8×7 single-car door replacement starts at $1,025. High-end steelback insulated with an 18 R-value is $1,920.
- All prices include the door, full hardware installation, removal of the old door, and our standard door and opener service. Tax is included.
- Adding a lifetime spring upgrade at installation starts at $325 for a non-insulated double-car door and is less expensive than a standalone replacement later.
- If the opening needs framing work, partial frame-out is $300 and full frame-out is $475.
- Garage door replacement is not a safe DIY project. The spring system operates under significant tension and requires professional tools and training.
What Goes Into the Total Cost
A garage door replacement has a few components. Understanding each one helps you see exactly where the money goes.
The Door
The door itself is the largest cost. Size and insulation level are the two biggest variables. Triple B installs Midland Garage Doors, manufactured in Fargo, ND. We chose Midland specifically for the quality of their product and manufacturing and for their customer service, which matters when you need a part or have a warranty question years down the road. Midland doors are available from entry-level 24-gauge steel up to high-performance steelback insulated with a 2″ polyurethane core and an 18 R-value, the highest insulation level typically available in residential garage doors.
The Spring System
Every new door installation includes a spring system. The difference is in the springs themselves. Most installs come standard with 10,000-cycle springs. Triple B offers an upgrade to 80,000-cycle springs at the time of installation, which is significantly longer-lasting and comes with a lifetime parts warranty and a 5-year labor warranty.
Frame-Out Work
If the opening needs framing work to properly fit the new door, that is assessed on-site and priced separately. Partial frame-out, which covers reframing the header and spring pad, is $300. Full frame-out is $475. Most replacements don’t require this, but it is good to know the number ahead of time if your opening has existing damage or is being reconfigured.
Opener
If your existing opener is in good shape and compatible with the new door, it stays. If the project includes a new opener, that is quoted separately based on the model and installation requirements.

Should You Replace or Repair?
Not every situation calls for a full replacement. If the door is structurally sound and only a spring, cable, or opener has failed, a repair is usually the right call and significantly less expensive. Replacement makes more sense when the door itself is damaged, rusting, or sagging, when it is old enough that parts are difficult to source, or when repeated repairs are adding up to a cost that approaches replacement anyway.
We will give you a straight answer on which makes sense for your door. We are not going to recommend a replacement to close a bigger job if a repair is the honest answer.
Why Insulation Matters in Maricopa County
An uninsulated garage in Maricopa County can reach 140 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit on a Phoenix summer afternoon. For any garage attached to the living space, that heat pushes directly into adjacent rooms and works against your air conditioner. A steelback insulated door with a high R-value significantly reduces heat transfer and pays back through lower utility bills within a few Arizona summers. If the garage is a detached storage space that is not temperature-controlled, a non-insulated door is a reasonable cost-saving choice.
Why Garage Door Replacement Is Not a DIY Project
Garage door springs are under significant tension and can cause serious injury if mishandled. Sectional doors need to be correctly balanced, tracked, and adjusted to operate safely, and a door that is improperly installed can fall, come off its tracks, or fail to reverse on an obstruction. Professional installation is the safe choice, and it comes with a warranty on the work.
Honest, Flat-Rate Pricing
Every replacement is a flat rate confirmed before work begins. All prices include installation labor and tax. There are no add-ons after the fact and no surprises on the invoice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to change a garage door?
A standard 16×7 double-car door replacement starts at $1,590 for a non-insulated door and goes to $3,260 for a high-end steelback insulated door with an 18 R-value. Adding a lifetime spring upgrade brings that to $3,685. A standard 8×7 single-car door runs from $1,025 to $1,920, or $2,215 with a spring upgrade. All prices include installation, old door removal, and tax.
Is old door removal included in the price?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the existing door is included in every installation price. There is no separate removal fee.
Should I replace or repair my garage door?
If the door is structurally sound and only a component has failed, repair is usually the better value. Replacement makes more sense when the door itself is damaged or deteriorating, when parts are hard to source, or when the cost of continued repairs is approaching replacement. We will give you an honest assessment either way.
Should I upgrade the springs when I replace the door?
It is worth considering. A spring upgrade at time of installation costs less than a standalone replacement later and gives you a spring system matched to the new door from day one, with a lifetime parts warranty and a 5-year labor warranty. The upgrade starts at $325 for a standard double-car door.
Do I need to replace the opener too?
Not necessarily. If your existing opener is in good working condition and compatible with the new door, it stays. We assess the opener as part of the on-site consultation and include a new opener as a separate line item only if it is needed or requested.
